A few months ago, Google revamped their Google Image search and with that, the report offensive images feature dropped out. This morning, I noticed the feature is now back in the search results.

It works a lot like the old method, you click on the “SafeSearch” link on the right of the Google Image search box and select “Report offensive images.” Then a new button named “report” is added to the images. You can then click on the report button to report that image.
